Report: Butler to say he “wishes to play” for Heat

The Associated Press’ Tim Reynolds reported Sunday afternoon that impending free agent will tell Miami Heat officials that he “wishes to play” for the team.

Not that this is a surprise - or means anything - but Jimmy Butler is expected to tell Miami officials tonight that he wishes to play for the Heat, per source.

Free agency is set to begin at 6 p.m. ET. Butler will meet with Heat officials this evening, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Will Riley find a way to facilitate a sign-and-trade to get Butler in a Miami uniform, something that didn’t happen in October 2018?
